Send to a Friend

Is the net actually useful to find long-lost acquaintances?
What are your experiences…
AND:
Is there such a site that allows one to reach out to a specific acquaintance, (not knowing where else to find them), leaving them a message, etc.?
How can one get hold of someone they’re looking for but can’t find ?
(I don’t mean popular social networks or so..)
